Stella McCartney Debuts Spring Collection With Sustainable Ice Cream Company
Written by Vegetarian Star on June 9th, 2010 in Business, Fashion, Food & Drink, Restaurants.
Stella McCartney debuted her Spring collection in the same building where Jonathan Horowitz’s “Go Vegan” display is housed–the Gavin Brown’s Art Gallery. Coincidence?
The vegetarian designer who shuns fur and leather in her fashions, said she decided to embellish a little this season, going with more bright colors and prints on items like cotton jackets.
“I just love spring,” Stella said, according to the New York Times. “I find it so hopeful and so uplifting, as far as seasons go. Last season my collection was so devoid of prints, so for spring I really wanted to make a statement.”
A Van Leeuwen Ice Cream truck was present to provide treats and the ice cream company has a rich tradition of sustainable and animal friendly practices.
According to its website, the company first starts by using hormone-free milk from cows on local farms in Lewis County, New York. All disposable goods are made from 100% renewable resources.
The cups and napkins are made from Bagasse, a material from the sugar cane husk. The company also pledges 1% of its profits to Mountain Gorilla, an organization in the Congo created to protect endangered species.
